Sausage Calzones Recipe

My husband, Tom, and I both enjoy cooking Italian food. We took the filling we usually use for ravioli and wrapped it in a dough to make these excellent calzones. The Italian sausage blends so beautifully with the cheeses and spinach.

"Excellent recipe for a Saturday when there is time to sit around and let the dough rise (or in my case fall asleep while the dough rises) and i was surprised at how easily the dough rolled out. It does not earn 5 stars cause its not a weeknight meal, but its quick and easy in terms of making the filling."

"I have been making these for my family since the issue with the recipe showed up at my door back in 1998. We customize each calzone to the taste of each person.(some like pepperoni and mushrooms added to theirs, while another doesn't even want the sausage). I add a 1/2 cup of mozarella cheese to the filling and use only fresh spinach. These are always on the requested list in our family!"

"These looked awesome coming out of the oven, but were quite disappointing when it came to flavor for both the dough and filling. I used freshly grated parmesan, and even added a half cup of an Italian cheese blend."

"This recipe was....interesting. The dough for my calzone did not rise at all, and I did not like the consistency of the filling. It reminded me to much of cottage cheese. :( We did not really care for it."
